The Other McCain

"One should either write ruthlessly what one believes to be the truth, or else shut up." — Arthur Koestler

Fear and Loathing in Cairo

“In this case, rightwingers who have an interest in stoking fear and loathing of Muslims worldwide pounced at the opportunity to smear all Egyptians with this crime. Popular rightwing bloggers Debbie Schlussel, Robert Stacy McCain, and Sister Toldjah were among those who immediately used the attack to reinforce their anti-Muslim, anti-revolution arguments. But the real […]

Jill Filipovic Throws Me Some Traffic; Little Green Footballs, Not So Much

America’s Favorite Feminist responds to this morning’s provocation by accusing me of promoting the narrative, “Brown people are savages who will go after pretty white women.” A near-miss there, Ms. Filipovic, but thanks for linking me. Meanwhile . . . It’s really sad that he’s got nothing better to do. While I’m on the hook […]

Paging Jill Filipovic

Please tell me what I am permitted to say when a gang of Egyptian men celebrates the end of the Mubarak regime by sexually assaulting an American TV news reporter: Maybe Egyptians could use one of Filipovic’s pious lectures about “no means no” and “stop means stop.” I’d probably be accused of some sort of […]

Just as more modern men are unable to complete traditional male tasks, new research shows Generation Y women can’t do the chores their mothers and grandmothers […]

Fear of a Republican Uterus

James Taranto gets very close to the core of the dynamic behind Palin Derangement Syndrome:  Why does their hatred of her burn so hot? Ask them, and they’ll most likely tell you: Because she’s a moron. But that is obviously false. . . . They say she is uneducated. What they mean is that her […]

The Dangerous Myth of Sexual Equality

“Armed with a ‘Take Back the Night’ pamphlet, we were led to believe that, as long as we avoided the hordes of date rapists, sex was an egalitarian endeavor. The key to sexual harmony, so the thinking went, was social conditioning. Men who sexually took advantage of women were considered the storm troopers of patriarchy, […]

A Song for All My Feminist Fans

Donald Douglas has been having all the fun with you ladies lately, and it’s probably time I joined in again:
